Suggest Remedy For Viral Infection Causing Frequent Stools, Pain And Blood In Stools In A Child
My son is 2 and 1/2 years old and has what appears to be a virus infection from what his pediatrian has stated. He has been pooping every 15-20 minutes and is in extreme pain. Its not a large amount and is very loose and slimy. He also has blood coming in his poop, not a lot but not a little either. What can I do to stop his cramping and why would he be bleeding?
hi having blood in the stools with severe crampy pain indicates a bacterial Dysentery and needs to be started on antimicrobials, preferably cefixime along with ORS fluids to prevent dehydration ALSO HE NEEDS A ZINC SYRUP.PLEASE ONCE AGAIN CONSULT YOUR CHILD SPECIALIST FOR PROPER DOSAGE.HOPE IT ANSWERS YOUR QUERY
